READ for important "GREAT" changes starting this week!

Posted on July 8th, 2022 by Suzanne Williams

We have a great change in store starting this week!

You may have noticed that every week there have been a few select "non-veggie" items that you have been able to swap with your veggies to put into your box for little to no extra charge.

WELL....starting this week, we have made EVERYTHING in our online market available to you for swapping.

How will this change affect you?  It depends!

If you only want veggies in your delivery, you can keep it that way. In fact, your box will still automatically be filled with your preferred vegetables right from the start...like it always has been.

BUT....now you have the option to choose other items to put in your box that week, potentially for no extra charge.

You will continue to see any additional swap charges noted when you attempt to swap one item out for another. Your card will be charged for any additional charges incurred on top of your regular box amount.  You can still add other items, just like you have been able to do in the past.

We hope you enjoy this change and that it makes your shopping experience with Willow Haven Farm even better.

Let us know if you have any questions!

Things to look for this week:

  • 10 lbs. of organically grown pickling cucumbers for ONLY $12
  • Grab some DILL and GREEN GARLIC, too, if you plan to make pickles this week.
  • The first round of cherry tomatoes are here!
  • Cherry Preserves (1/2 pints, just made today)
  • We still have "Scallions/Green Onions" but they are getting bigger as they are in the ground longer so they may be more like a small white onion this week. They still taste fabulous!

Thank you for supporting your local farm.

We'll keep farming for you,

Reuben, Tessa, and the Farm Crew @ Willow Haven Farm

 

REMINDERS & TIPS :

Check your preferences: your box will be automatically filled with the vegetables that you prefer, or in the case of a Market Box, it will be filled with all of your preferences.  You can now swap items out with anything in the market. Sometimes our swaps are limited so it is best to have your box filled with your preferences on the first pass. You can even change your preferences throughout the season.

Customize: Once you receive this email, you can now customize your box.  Swap items in your box and add extra items you like from our ever-growing selection of high-quality organic foods and products.  Simply add them to your box and your card will be charged upon finalization of your order. The customization window will open on Friday afternoon and it will close at 7pm on Sunday.  

Add another item to your cart:  Check to see if you have "more value" left in your share by going to customization - click on your cart - then click back to the items. If a green bar appears that says you can add items because you have left over value in your share, try adding another veggie or low cost item to your cart to see. 

Boxes and labels: Before returning your box (and other packing materials) for pick up - please remove your box label. SAVE YOUR LABEL if you are missing an item or something is unsatisfactory. Sending us a picture of your label will help us diagnose our error in the pack line and make improvements. (You can discard your labels afterward.)
